Indiana Jones teaser delayed, Indy gaming to your phone.

While we were hoping to see the first teaser trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull before the end of the year, word is that we probably won’t – Paramount isn’t quite ready yet. But to help stoke demand, they will put out a new teaser poster.

Also teasing Indy fans is the “revelation” of the roles for Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, and Jim Broadbent. Do they play friends? enemies? competitors? child sidekicks? armored polar bears? Find out at MTV.com.

THQ Wireless will be making a Kingdom of the Crystal Skull game next year to go along with the movie release. But that’s not all that THQ Wireless is going to be bringing to your phone – look for the Empire Strikes Back game (released last month), and a mobile version of The Force Unleashed. Then later on.. a second Indiana Jones title, to be tied with the Indy console game. Who needs an XBOX 360 when you really should get an N-Gage mobile gaming device. Why call people on your phone when you can use it to get Indy to the treasure or take down an AT-AT?
